Steve King of Wyckoff, a coach at Eastern Christian School, has been named New Jersey Girls Basketball Coach of the Year by the New Jersey Scholastic Coaches Association. This award is presented annually to a coach whose career and involvement with student athletes provides those athletes with many intangibles and touches their lives in ways that will help them become positive role models in future years.

The event was also a benefit for the Eastern Christian athletic program.

Athletes from the audience who have been coached by King during his 35-year career at Eastern Christian joined him at the podium as Lucas announced that King had also been selected to receive the 2009 Northeast Sectional Girls Basketball Coach of the Year award from the National Federation of State High School Associations. The Northeast Section includes Connecticut, King is Coach of the Year Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. “Coach King is to be commended and congratulated for his many years of dedicated service to Eastern Christian in his capacity as an educator, coach, and athletic director,” Principal Lucas said. “His uncompromising Christian standards on the court and athletic fields are a testament to the role model we desire from all of our staff at Eastern Christian School.” In addition to being honored at this Eastern Christian School Association dinner, King was also honored for his contributions to high school athletes at a luncheon hosted by the New Jersey Scholastic Coaches Association.
